See Ryan Gosling take orders from Claire Foy in the first man's clip

This clip, shared exclusively with Vanity Fair, shows that Janet de Foy has one of her last conversations with Neil before he left for his historic journey into space.

After seeing the movie, Neil and Janet's son Mark told the press that he was convinced that First man told his mother's story "correctly for the first time," explaining that Neil "was not the only hero in the family."

Mark also revealed that he had skyped with Foy before filming to help prepare the actress for the role.

"She wanted to know the minutiae [of my mother], "Says Mark at Daily mail. "Mom called me Marco and my brother Ricky. She wanted to know the balance and strength of my mother. How was she really?

The conversations have apparently paid off. Last month, after watching First man, Mark said, "When I saw it on the screen, I was overwhelmed by emotions. . . It was incredible. Claire captured the essence of mom. She communicates so many feelings without words. I am very moved. "

Before dying of lung cancer last June, Janet met Damien Chazelle and Ryan Gosling, as well as First man scriptwriter Josh Singer. She was supposed to meet Foy too, but the visit was derailed by a hurricane.

"I have never been to a room with her. I'll always regret it, "Foy told Vulture recently. "But at the same time, I wonder if, playing it, it was useful for me not to meet her, there was a distance, anyway, her relationship with Neil was very confidential, I did not want to put her in a position where she had to talk to a random actress at her wedding, no one wants to do that!

Foy also talked about Janet's fight against the sudden celebrity she experienced after landing Neil's moon.

"Janet did not ask to be the poster girl for American brides," Foy said. "She did not know that by marrying a fighter pilot, she would suddenly find herself on the cover of Time magazine. . . . I think Janet found it more restrictive and confining, like in a straitjacket. There is a scene where she really gives it to NASA. She says, "You do not know what you are doing. You go to the moon, which is the most important thing in the world. But it's my husband, the father of my children. Has it ever happened to you? But Janet knew who she was and what was happening. She had such a steel spine.

Chazelle said that Janet's casting was difficult because "it was really hard for me to find who could do it justice. It's so specific, especially if you look at the archive footage, the snippets of interviews with her. "

In a 1969 Life interview, Janet was stoic about her role as Neil's wife. "I am not married to" an astronaut, "" she said. "I'm married to Neil Armstrong. I knew that he wanted to go to the moon, one way or another, when I married him. Knowing that it did not change my life. For me, he will always be Neil Armstrong, husband, father of two boys. "

First man opens in theaters on October 12th.
